Opinions on wearing make-up every day?

I like to wear make-up, but I only ever wear it if I'm going out somewhere. I've been considering wearing 'basic make-up' for every day purposes. The most I ever wear is eyeliner. But I'd like to hear some opinions on this because not only is it bad for your skin, but if you wear make-up every day, doesn't it lose its novelty? If you wear it every day, then for a formal event or a date or something, wouldn't it lose most of its effect because people are so used to seeing you wear it? I'd love to hear your opinions on this! Thanks!
